On July 5th, Square Enix released the winning entries for FFXI's 1st Shield Design Contest, which let players design their own shields to potentially be implemented into the game. As a follow-up, all entries, both winning and otherwise, were finally unveiled, revealing a plethora of shield designs, ranging from beautiful to silly.
